Tafsir al-Quran al-Karim — Hafiz Abdus Salam Bin Muhammad Bhutvi
Tafsir al-Quran al-Karim is a 4-volume Quran commentary by Hafiz Abdus Salam bin Muhammad Bhutvi, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar and Sheikh ul-Hadith from Pakistan. Based on over 45 years of teaching and research, this tafsir follows the methodology of Tafsir bil-Ma'thur — interpreting the Quran through authentic Hadith, statements of the Companions, and the understanding of the early generations (Salaf). It is distinguished by its complete avoidance of Israeliyyat (Judeo-Christian narratives) and unverified reports. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.
From verses (23) to (34), those qualities are described without which even a person who prays remains "halu‘" (faint-hearted). The first of these qualities is constancy in prayer; it is not that sometimes it is performed and sometimes abandoned, because as soon as one abandons prayer, not only impatience and miserliness will return, but disbelief will also come back into him. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: [ بَيْنَ الْعَبْدِ وَ بَيْنَ الْكُفْرِ تَرْكُ الصَّلَاةِ ] [ أبو داوٗد، السنۃ، باب في رد الإرجاء : ۴۶۷۸۔ مسلم : ۸۲ ] "Between a person and disbelief is only the abandonment of prayer."

[14] These two states—complaining and expressing dissatisfaction instead of being patient in hardship, and miserliness and passionate love for wealth instead of expressing gratitude to Allah in prosperity—are things that lead a person to Hell. However, those people, and especially those believers, who possess the following eight qualities mentioned ahead from verse 22 to 34, will remain safe from the punishment of Hell. And the aforementioned flaws will also be eliminated from them.
